What it does
Erase a collaborator’s personal data — the right-to-be-forgotten act, and the permanent end of their access.
Erase a Collaborator: active|inactive → doomed, the DE-IDENTIFICATION terminal. The (group × email) identity marker BURNS within the group (the email does NOT re-register — re-invite as a NEW Collaborator); sessions go INERT at their next resolve; doomed drops from listings + search. v1 dooms the record + burns the marker; the PII scrub rides the ONE shared machinery (the Consumer posture VERBATIM — the erase failure form is EVENTED + retryable: CONFLICT/ERASE_FAILED). Requires the current revision (OCC) + the unrestricted capability; template class (privacy & compliance — the eraseConsumer class).
What happens
Personal fields are irreversibly anonymized while their action history stays lawful and intact; their email never registers again in this group — re-engage them as a NEW collaborator.
Careful
PERMANENT. There is no un-erase — this is the privacy law’s one-way door.

Returns
Collaborator Collaborator! — A Collaborator — the strictly-scoped NON-ACCOUNT access identity: the User-adjacent NEVER-OWNER identity for EXTERNALLY-ORIGINATED parties (outside accountant/bookkeeper, agency, consultant, an integration partner's human operator, a scoped helper) granted limited access to ONE org group without being a merchant Account. Group-scoped like the Consumer (parentId === rootId — per-group NOT global; the same firm at two merchant groups = two records; federated identity is the lock's flagged-not-now). THE THREE DISTINCTIONS FROM A USER: (1) no merchant Account (its own identity + credential + session class) · (2) NO OWNERSHIP EVER (owners are Account-only structural links — there is no Collaborator state in which ownership is permitted) · (3) externally-originated (invited, not part of the merchant's principal hierarchy). Access = STRICTLY the Roles-per-org mechanism Users ride. the identity-marker rule (the Consumer burn class): the (group × normalized email) UNIQ marker IS the login index — a live/inactive holder refuses CONFLICT/IDENTITY_TAKEN; on erase (doom) the identifiers BURN within the group. Credentials NEVER ride this record: a created Collaborator is born active but CREDENTIAL-LESS — issueCollaboratorInvite mints the show-once bootstrap token, acceptCollaboratorInvite redeems it into the argon2id credential (the invite handshake is a credential-store bootstrap, NOT an FSM state — the lock's chosen lean; NO staff password-set lane EVER — recovery = re-invite rotation). Self-service rides the COLLABORATOR SESSION channel (collaboratorLogin + descriptor-gated ops); staff manage via THIS face. SEARCHABLE (the book law).
